Today, my family is out of town. So I said to my self, why should I suffer? I was going to treat my self to a manly steak (no offence to women). Of course, I’ve been planning this for a while. I went to Costco last weekend and picked myself up a 21/2 pound Strip steak (beef top loin). I let it age in my refrigerator for the last 7 days (noticed the marvelous fat marble lines on this steak). The steak weighed at 43oz when I picked it up, now it weighs about 36oz after aging.

Sure,
Here is a link to the steps you need to age a steak :

Z, I'd start braggin' on how good that looks, but I've come to expect no less from you. You always impress me. BTW, I did a chuck roast with the chili sauce today as you recommended. We'll be having it later on in the week.

smokyblues I also have to logon twice from home. Never have to at work though. I still haven't figured it out. Tried messing with the securety setting and the cookie settings but nothing has helped so far. I up-channelled the question so we'll see if they can firgure it out.
